NO TICKETS SOLD AT THE DOOR

You will need to select a “check-in” winery to start: pick-up your glass, wristband and program, then you may visit any participating winery you would like for the weekend. Keep your wristband on for the duration.

 

The magic of Barrel Tasting is to get into the cellar and taste wines directly from the barrels.  Almost all of the wineries will be selling futures – so plan now to taste…then buy the future!

Many of the wines being offered are so limited they will sell out as futures. After you sample from the barrel, most wineries will also have a few current vintage wines for you to try, so you can buy wine to take home…to hold you over, waiting for those “futures” to get bottled!

 

 

Buses and large groups are not permitted at wineries on Wine Road event weekends. Buses will be turned away at the entrance to the wineries.

DO NOT RENT A BUS AND TRAVEL IN LARGE GROUPS, WINERIES WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE YOUR PARTY. NO GROUPS OF 8 OR MORE.

 

Barrel Tasting is an opportunity to meet winemakers, learn a bit about the wine making process and to buy “futures” of the wines, you sample directly from the barrel.

We have been patiently waiting until we could host this event again without requiring a reservation at each winery. We know the thrill of Barrel Tasting is discovering new wineries and being spontaneous.  We are excited that the time has finally arrived!  We can’t wait to get you back into the cellars.
